The unREAL DC Boards Lounge 6.2

Sir Christopher Lee is getting the Bafta fellowship award this year (British Oscars higest honour previously given to the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock ect).

Can't think of a better guy to get it. Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars, Original Wicker Man movie, Hammer horror, Bond and a cameo in almost Every Tim Buton movie post Sleepy Hollow.

I'm writing my brother in Boot Camp and if any of your are in the tiniest bit into faith of any sort can you pray for him? He seems to be having a rough time and I just want his mind to be at ease, Thanks internet friends.

For the record he isn't a wimp but Boot Camp is different for him and its just taking its toll and he says he will persevere but I thought I would ask you guys simply because anyone in his position needs any support he can get no matter the source.

How old is he?

 

[Hush]

19 Years Old.

 

[BlackLantern]

he has my best wishes, basic is tough, but thats kinda the point...its supposed to break you down and build you back up

 

[Hush]

Oh yeah I agree but you know just reading about it I feel for the guy.

Jesus Spiderman on another team.

Why don't Mavel just kill everyone of their Superheroes and only Wolverine and Spiderman comics because they obviously find printing comics without them in unbearable

meh it's only for 13 issues, Johnny and the original title come back for issue #600

Reason #4000 why the armed forces aren't for me. I'm the most compliant mofo you'll ever meet. No need to scream at me and break me down for weeks with all the other dudes who think they're Captain America. My CO says shoot, I'm shootin.

 

[lixdexia]

but i AM captain america???

same here...I never got directly screamed at, but when someone screws up, everyone pays for it

plus its getting you mentally used to the structure of things thats the main crux of it all

 

[lixdexia]

so, here's what i don't get about the hype: "fruity" said in a congratulation - bannable offense. "****tard" used as an insult - not even noticed.

 

[BlackLantern]

but i AM captain america???

I just realized that Marvel is going to make a metric ****ton in the merch department, selling little helmets and shields for the Cap movie

 

[Tron Bonne]

I thought Fantastic Four meant four, not five? I've always been a bit off at math, though.

Well, it's not the Fantastic Four anymore. It's just FF, which I presume is Future Foundation. I don't how I feel about it. I would probably drop it and say **** that, but I've been enjoying Hickman's run a lot.

seriously. i alone will probably spend between 3 and 5 hundred dollars on cap merch

 

[BlackLantern]

I might buy a figure or something....provided its cool looking

 

[Colossal Spoons]

but i AM captain america???

Good, now go find Osama and get that oil!

same here...I never got directly screamed at, but when someone screws up, everyone pays for it

Yeeaaaah, that "one person screws up and you all screw up" thing would get old real fast. I assume that's to teach you responsibility or to depend on the guy to your left or some junk.

Funny cuz I saw a gay poster use the term "fruit" just days before the S.A.A.D. incident and not a fuss was made. But w/e, I'll just stick to comics where it's safe.

 

[Tron Bonne]

$300-500? Are you serious?

 

[BlackLantern]

yes...more like accountability, attention to detail, plus it pushes you to govern yourselves...you start to look out for each other

 

[BlackLantern]

lix strikes me as the type of guy who buys multiples of stuff, squirrels some away, displays some of it

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Solution: shock collars. Now let's go play COD

 

[lixdexia]

working on osama, cap doesn't fight for oil. not a stooge

eh, it's not that bad. if it's gonna be a ball buster day it was going to be a ball buster day already regardless, just deal with it.

tons of double standards around here. oh well

I wonder how a guy goes from basic training to being a drill instructor. Like what has to happen in a man's life to turn him into a pain in the ass? I know it's his job but it takes a certain kind of person; I certainly couldn't do it w/ a straight face.

I figure it's probably to get you used to dealing with totally arbitrary ******** that you can't do anything about.

They find the one guy who really, really enjoys the basic training.

 

[lixdexia]

$300-500? Are you serious?

oh sure.

$50 on the video game tie in, maybe $100 on figures (depends on the size of the movie set, figure on 3 or so t-shirts at $20 each, $25 on the blu ray and i'm already at $235. now throw in some display quality replicas and that number sky rockets.

Yeah, I guess you have to keep some Cap merch around when winter time comes.

my dad was a drill instructor for a bit, and he is indicative of the qualities they look for than you just have to be super anal and a bit of a sadist.
